Followed by 10 years probation with periodic at will residence checks

In addition to the lawsuit for any injury sustained. Noplea bargains for dui offenses. Either plea guilty to the full charges or take your chance on a trial
Alcoholics are drug addicts just any other drug addict but they are treated better by our legal system because alcohol is a legal drug and socially acceptable.
